Fluke PM3370B PROGRAM TEXT PT

THE CPL PROTOCOL 6 - 19

PROGRAM TEXT PT

Purpose:

To program text to an oscilloscope.

If the S parameter is specified, setup text is programmed. The text will be set into

one of the setup registers of the oscilloscope. The parameter n specifies the setup

text field is set to ’spaces’.

If the S parameter is not specified, user text is programmed. The text will be

displayed on the screen of the oscilloscope. A maximum number of 64 characters

is allowed. The remainder of the text field is set to ’spaces’. The parameter n may

not be used.

The programmed text can be read with the Query Text (QT) command.
